Lister Mills was once the largest silk factory in the world. Apparently during the WW2 it produced 1,330 miles of real parachute silk, 284 miles of flame-proof wool, 50 miles of khaki battledress and 4,430 miles of parachute cord. So I'm guessing it played a pretty important role!

The mills closed in 1992 and are now Urban Splash apartments.
